“I need to open up a company for the transfer of all of that info regarding our friend David,” Cohen told Trump in the recording, possibly referencing Trump ally and American Media head David Pecker.

Trump can be heard asking Cohen “what financing?” and also “pay with cash,” although it was unclear whether that was a question or a statement to Cohen. The tape cuts off before a final decision is made.

Also included in the tape is Trump asking an aide to “get me a Coke, please.”
